Hope this helps.
For medical there are 3 things that need to be done:
1. A Physical Examination
2. A test for tuberculosis. A tuberculin skin test will be performed at your first visit. You must return in two to three days for a check of the test. If you have had a positive tuberculosis skin test, you will need to have a chest x-ray to make sure you do not have active tuberculosis. This can be done at the for an additional charge. If the TB test is negative, you will not need chest x-ray.
3. A blood test for syphilis (RPR)
I ma planning to change doctor as previous doctor does not ahve appointment soon. Will this be a problem?
I am assuming we do not need to get any immunizatiosn again except for rare case as Viz mentioned.
Did I miss anything?

The civil surgeon has advised us to go in for a chest x ray .
How would the results of the chest x ray impact I 485 processing ?
In the unlikely event of the results being positive, will USCIS suspend processing of I 485 till treatment is completed ?
Any feedback is welcome

Like so many people here I am an avid follower (albeit a silent one) of this thread and would like to thank you guys for all the hard work you put in. Spec - great to see you back, this forum is incomplete without your inputs.
I have a tricky situation regarding my address change and AR11. I am EB2, 2009 Feb priority person. I moved in 2013 Oct from Address A to Address B and forgot to file an AR11 and now I am closing my house and will be moving again in July31 (next month) to address C. My question is should I file an AR11 now? If yes, should I file it with address B or C? My concern is whether filing an AR11 now will cause any delays in processing or should I just wait and see if USPS will fwd the mails from A->B->C since I have requested mail forward.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Experts here,
What is the cause for some folks who are expected to be current over the next couple of months getting medical RFEs, while some others with the same period PDs not getting those?
Is there some twist in the processing protocol that can explain this?
I am Dec 2008 PD, TSC, filed Jan 2012. Address updated a year ago.
No RFE yet.
I have read several people from Aug /Sept/Oct 2008 PD not getting their RFEs.
Thx
USCIS efficiency :cool:Quote:

If i were you i would do AR11 immediately to address B because they are sending out RFE's for early 2009 priority dates. You don't want to rely on USPS to forward the all important RFE letter. I've heard they don't forward GOVT communications like SSN card, DL, EAD etc.
Are you represented by an Attorney? if that is the case they generally receive a copy of RFE in which case you will be saved.
Once you move to C then do AR11 again.
Check with your attorney too!!!

AR 11 is a simple process. At some point while filling out the online form, it asks if you have pending applications. Make sure you select 485 and put in the Receipt number (or A number). If you have EAD renewals, H1 renewals or any other open cases, select those too.Quote:

USPS does not forward government documentation and definitely not USCIS mail.
hulimari welcome to forum.
First of all one is required by DHS to file an AR-11 until one becomes "CITIZEN". I dont think it is a serious crime though. It is just a requirement.
If I were you I would fill out AR-11 ASAP for the latest address only. I wouldn't want to confuse USCIS by filing multiple AR-11. USPS and USCIS are two different things. You can still do your regular mail forward.
Does that answer your question?

We managed to get in a MTR through the new lawyer within the 30 days time 6 months ago but are still waiting for a response from USCIS. At this time the dependent is able to work using the old EAD as the status on I-485 suggests Acceptance rather than Decision.
My questions to you are these - and please let me know what your experience has been:
1. If our PD becomes current given the latest Fragomen update, should I reapply for I-485 for the dependent?
2. If there is a question on "prior application" on the application form, would USCIS refer to the old receipt number and deny us again?
3. Does the dependent denial harm any chance of the primary and other dependents GC approval and realization?
USPS will not forward any federal letters - they usually have a no-forward stipulation since you are supposed to be staying at the address you provided to USCIS. So you should file AR-11 immediately. Its online and its pain free. I would not put an AR-11 for C right now since you don't live there currently so presumably you can't receive your mail there - so if they send something for you then you will not receive it. Since you live at B right now, file an AR-11 for B - and then the day you move to C, file AR-11 for C. AR-11 should not cause any delays.

Similarly I moved from Address A to Address B and filed AR11, I received the AR11 receipt/acknowledgement notice delivered at address B. But when I filed EAD renewal, they(mailman) send it back telling address undeliverable, then I had to call at post office supervisor and let them know that I'm staying there, meet mail man in person too. Called in USCIS stating that I'm staying there and made sure address is updated in there system, I got my new EAD but not the receipt notice.
Just wanted to make everyone aware that it appears that someone with a PD of July 2009 has recently received a RFE from NSC, please see post #s 1586, 1588 and 1589 in link below:
http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussi...page/last_page
If I remember correctly, last year's mass RFE included some folks with late 2008 PDs but the dates moved only to mid 2008. Just tempering expectations... :)
Slightly different scenario. Last years EVL mass RFE was at the discretion of the officer. Medicals RFE is a mandatory thing (or so it seems). So issuing a RFE for Medicals knowing that a new 693 would expire in a year would be weird. Ofcourse the posts are from a friend of a poster who doesn't know what the RFE is for.Quote:

What is usually the Time it takes from issue of RFE to actual postal mail. I was issued RFE on June 4th (PD Aug 2008) and have not received RFE in postal mail yet (as of June 10th).
I had moved in OCT 2013 and had sent AR-11 form then to reflect that change. How can I check if the current address with USCIS is correct?
My lawyer has also not received a copy as well.

Wasn't there a memo saying USCIS will only issue medical RFEs if they believe PDs are going to be current in near future?Quote:

Mine is 22nd Sept so have to wait for a month or so. I need some help with birth certificates in preparation for filing 485. My lawyers are not cooperative and that helpful. How do I reach you directly by email to ask few questions.
Regards
Ok thats fine. Good luck either way.
Primary: I have a birth certificate issued in punjabi and its birth registration date (feb 1977) is 30 days of actual birth date (jan 1977). But the certificate was printed and issued to me only 2008. Other than translation of this certificate, do we have to do anything else?
Spouse: Bith certificate registered in 2008 but actual birth date in 1977. The birth certificate was printed , stamped and issued in 2008. Is late registration an issue here.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Q and other members for the answers. I filed my AR11 today and keeping my fingers crossed. Lot of great things happening in my life this year(our first house and second child ;-) ) and I would love if GC adds to the list too!
All the best to everyone in the Q (pun intended :-)

My PD is Oct 17 2008 and NSC is the processing center.
Here is what you can do:
Get it translated in English. Notarize it and if parents' names are there in translated version, according to my lawyer, you are all set.

Can someone please advise about the steps to be taken by a first time filer. I need to know when should I do the medicals. What if vaccinations are required.
1. Should my wife and myself get tested right now for all the things asked under I-693?
2. Regarding the vaccinations, how do you prove that you had taken those as kids ?
1. You can get medicals done as soon as you get know you will be current. If vaccinations are required, they will be given to you at the doctor's office.Quote:

It really doesn't take much time (unless you come back positive for TB even after chest x-ray). I got everything done in 3 days.
My Husband's priority date is June 2008.
We came to know on friday that they are sending RFE.
If we address the RFE immediately, does it make my case delay.
We still do not know the reason of RFE.
Can you please us know how does it impact getting GC for this season

I have taken the shots for Hep-B but not sure if my wife has.
Gurus,
Not sure if the question applies to this thread, but does anyone know if there is a possibility for pre-adjudicated cases to not have any Medical RFE issued? My PD is July 2008, and i'd received an RFE back in 2012 which was replied back in time. My status shows as Pending review. I am starting to get concerned that i've not yet received new RFE for medical.
In case the case is pre-adjudicated can the GC be given even if Medical has expired?
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Nija - Everybody is getting RFE - so nothing to worry. It would most probably be about EVL and Medical - send the response asap and it shouldn't delay your case at all.

my company uses fragomen , but the paralegals that I deal with at fragomen is very very slow and sometimes makes mistakes also. I did an AC 21 and filed g28 to change my lawyer to this law firm about 4 months back. Can I respond to the RFE through another lawyer now , just to make sure it gets done right ( I dont want to take any chances after all these years of waiting) ? Would it affect my case if I file another g28 along with my rfe response? or should I just stay on top of the fragomen guys as much as I can and let them file the response for me?
as everyone says , this has been a great place that i come to almost every day and thanks to everyone for their posts !
Welcome to the forum. Your new lawyer can file another G28 that will override the previous G28.
IMHO - there are benefits of being with large, reputed firms like Fragomen. Your RFE is a routine one - so perhaps it would make sense to just hover over their head take until they take care of the RFE response. You will be current on Aug-1st - so you would want your RFE response submitted before that - you have plenty of time for that. Best of luck.
